Hey i see that there is 2 different types of affidavits but which one do i file for my fiance that is abroad awaiting the k-1 visa and when? I just sent out the i-129 on the 29th of February so when should i start getting the paper work together?

You'll need the I-134 for the K-1. The I-184 is used when you're doing the Adjustment of Status.

You can find the full list of items that you'll need to prepare once the NOA2 is received here (scroll down): What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2)

Doesn't hurt to get things together sooner rather than later as you'll need a lot of stuff! start looking into how long police check will take because the turn around time could delay you if you're not sure. good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. Ok i just have another question, i was living with my fiance last year in greece and i didnt file taxes, but now that i am back in the US, i make the required amount, but do not have last years taxes. when i send my fiance the i-134 do i have to send tax returns? and a co-sponsor? or should i just send my info for now and then my co-sponsor at the time of AOS?

If you had income last year, whether in the US or in Greece, you may have to file taxes for 2011 (remember 2011 taxes are due April 17, 2012). Check the IRS' site to see if you need to file.

But yes, you will need to supply a tax return (e.g. the one you may have to file for 2011) when you send the I-134. If you're using a co-sponsor, they will also need to complete the I-134 and supply the relevant paperwork. (Note, this is all covered in the guide link I sent, in case you want more details.)
